The latest episode of K-ON! introduced the show’s 5th band member, Azusa, with a number of changes to its OP, although the ED remains as before.
The new OP version can be seen below, as well as a helpful side by side comparison of the modified sections…
K-On! Episode 09 OP
The K-ON! OP/ED is a major industry unto itself it seems, and even something as simple as a changed OP looks able to influence sales of anything featured in it…
Fans are quite happy to have Azusa now fully on board, for obvious reasons:

Alright! I knew they would tweak the OP after she made her appearance in the anime.
btw, I like her more than Mio. :P
I'm a lolicon for the record ^^
Loli spotted.
Right... everyone with black hair is more skillful than others... not complaining ^_^
Kawaii!!!
Momaira watch sisugiwww
DAISUKIDA!!
*breathing heavily*
Call me Onii-chan call me Onii-chan!!!
Sorry to burst your bubble, but she has already become my imouto. She's now screaming for me to do her as we speak ^^
i see mei-chan has found work now that clannad is over...
She's a mix between bossu and Chiaki, which makes her Serious Bossu.
I always see Pangya...
Is she cosplaying Pangya?
Hngggggggggggg
Awwww.. I was hoping they get a male member instead so that we could get some good doujins out of it.
FUND IT!
It's an all-girl's school, so the chances of getting a male member are incredibly slim.
If they ever do get one (probably a relative or visitor from another school) it should either be a charming bishounen or a shouta to fit in with the cute girls.
Hmm. I was thinking that. But I'm sure there'll be enough yuri doujins out there. Maybe someone will write their own story to add a male guy (but I suppose it won't be the same).
And she plays a candy-apple red Fender Mustang.
TEH MOE, IT'S TOO MUCH!
She needs to be integrated in the ed too.
ah my last waifu has finally been included.
She looks like Kuu, the girl from Pangya
azusa doesn't seem to blend in perfectly in the OP video. dunno why, but she looks too "shopped". anybody here shares the same thought?
We will have another beach episode!
Loli + swimsuit
The preview at the end of the latest ep seems to suggest this...
This. We need this.
But still wont have Ui in beach ep ;_;
AZUSA THE NEKOMIMI LOLI IS HERE YAY
SO FRIGGIN CUTE
Azu-nyan~!
you know who Azusa really looks like, Kooh from Pangya :D
now its only a matter of time until the chan gets flooded with Azusa pics :P
Good call.

(they kinda jusat stick azusa to it lol)
and seems that azusa can also go moe moe kyuun~♥
goodbye Mio

triplets!!!

Blasphemy for not includding Lucchini..
what the hell? it's still 4 people, they just slapped this girl in only a couple of scenes, why not just every shot? fucking lazy pricks
Right...... If you are so hardworking, why don't you create the scenes for them?? Or is it that you are too lazy yourself to try?
ep 9 fucking blew dicks
Is it just me or...did Azusa seem sorta...I dunno...pasted in? It didn't exactly look like flawless integration.
Not that I don't welcome the arrival of a new, great character. :)
Dosent she look like Kana form minami ke?
The shone that she radiates... :)
You guys do realise four is greater than one? Why give Mugi/Mio/Yui up for Azusa when you can have them all?
I'm the only one that doesn't like Azusa that much? Mugi-chan forever.
O___________O
Azu-nyan!!!!!!!!! *Head explodes*
No one else sees Mana Mizuki from white album?
That's exactly what I thought the first time I saw her.
I always picture this final showdown between Mio supporters vs Azu-nyan supporters, Lord of The Rings style...
Any word on if Fender is going to a re-issue of the Duo-Sonic in response to the new character?
Looks like I misspoke myself. Azusa's guitar is a Fender Mustang. More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Mustang
They are still available from Fender: http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0273706554
So basically K-ON is a really elaborate ad for Fender.
No matter whether it is or not, it works:

Mio was ignored most of this episode,the good thing was i didnt care.
Good. We need less Mio-lovers. She doesn't deserve some of you out there.
now why didnt they add her to the ending? :(
and there will be Mio x Azu-nyan moments in the next ep I bet
In before Icy-nee-san: Yay, loli!!!!! :D
She deserves to be in there, that's for sure.
the facial expression makes me worried.
Well no matter what my mood is or what my intentions are, I'll always have the same expression (that is, until I change my gravatar...)
damn, i wish they made a goth loli version of azusa too, be a dream come true XD
Wait and see if sensei has a goth moment in her clothing designs.
Ugh, I freakin hate it when they just add some new girl, now it's uneven with 5 people -__- well i won't acknowledge her anyway
If they didn't add her in they would have veered off from the ORIGINAL WORK IT'S BASED ON YOU SHIT-EATING STUPID FATHERFUCKER.
mio and mugi, azusa and yui and mugi with the teacher(i forgot her name)ya there u have eveness
Azusa...I think I don't like Mio anymore
Wow, they did an especially bad job with this. It would have been better just leaving her out instead of trying to cram her into a few inches of space behind everyone else in a couple shots.
Naw, if you look at it carefully, there was always this extra wide space between yui and mio.
yui needs the space to move around while jamming duh
Still a big ass gap
That shot is okay, but what about the last one? Also, her little introduction montage really messes up the timing for everything before and after it.
I've converted from Haruhi-ism to Mioism to Azu-nyanism....
(somebody make a better ism or equivalent for Azusa)
I just re-watched the OP, has anyone else noticed the additional guitar track in the OP? They did more work than we're giving them credit for!
Most noticable is the bit where she has the "this is the character name" bit. Bit of wailing guitar that isn't on the single or the older OPs.
I have attention to detail ^_^
THOSE three freaking cats... they're watching me...
Boo
O_O
Anon B! It is nice to finally meet you! Our brethren are gathering slowly. Soon, the Alphanons will be whole once more...
And don't think I missed someone saying Moe Moe Kyun at the end.
I'm.. I'm so proud. *shed tears*
Now my heart is divided into fifths. I want to make love with them all so much. They're my angels, they fill my life with light and joy. I love them so much, they make everything better. :)
I love them too, but man, they're just fictional characters, and that's where I stop.
Burn this traitor on the stake!
^seconded
blasphemy, gtfo
oh, lookie! anon is accusing anon of blasphemy
^ lol
Like Hijikata once said in Gintama (anime)...
"Idols that you have no chance of dating/marrying ain't any more real than 2-D characters" lol
Well, at least with the 3D idols, you still have a chance to screw them. And that, sir, is the beautiful world of rape.
lulz
That's not what I meant. What I was trying to say is...for example, putting posters of your favourite idol on the wall ain't really that much different from putting posters of of your favourite 2-D character on the wall (with the exception that the latter self-declaring being a otaku XD)
You can't just settle for...a normal girl, that isn't a beautiful idol? O-o I mean, barely any of us here can even tap that, but at least it's an easier goal lol
azu-nyan~~~~~~
Dammit, the jumping scene was the best part in the old opening!!!
I agree. ;_;
Azusa????? Looks like Kyonko to me
you mean bossu
She looks more like Kana From the Minami ke series
I am not seeing the resemblance.
Azusa is adorable and Mugi's latest yuri addition <3 <3 <3
Amen to that. ^_^
Oh god I think K-On is starting to get too cute even for me. I was hoping she'd be all badass...
M-meow!
Nyan~
Me neither.
Neither do I.
out of all animes OP/ED change... this site only update this kind of anime?
one from the minamike sisters?
yeah, she's just looks like kana !
you know that's exactly what I first thought when I first saw her. Even though she doesn't look exactly like her, still.
Every time I see the name Azusa I think of that kleptomaniac psychopath girl from Ranma 1/2.
Charlotte~!! Charlotte~!!! Charlotte~!!!!
oink! *shudders*
A winrar is you!
Aggghhhhhhh yes it does stop it!!!
does it hurt here? (pokes really hard)
yes, and now five in the team =), good
